Oh me oh my. It has been a mighty long time, Blog. How have you been? You’re looking a little thin. Have you not been eating well?
Many times I’ve thought of you. So many times I’ve written you in my mind – in the shower, on the freeway, in the line at Ikea.
I thought of you the other day when I was berry picking. I pictured you enjoying the cool morning with me as together we saved as many juicy morsels as we could before the harsh steel of the arborist felled the vines.
We could have laughed and cried together when the brambles caught my laces and knocked out half of our hard work – and after all we did for them! And I’m sure we would have smiled at each other with our eyes when my son mistook his berry covered oatmeal for pie.
I can’t explain why I’ve been so distant. It’s not just you, Blog. I have a habit of keeping one foot in relationships and the other out. I plan to find out why.
But until then, I’ll try harder to be a friend to you. I can only hope you’ll forgive me and do the same.
Your previously distant friend,
Cara
Cara you are so talented. You need to write, write write! xoxoxxo
